    Thanks Holger.  You recommended on another thread: NUTM-10962 [RED] Fix for RED50 does not start up after firmware update for most scenarios.

    Re: 9.605 Up2Date

    Does this Up2Date leave use_unified_firmware at 0?  Does it address the issue that was bricking some REDs?  Until there's more clarity, I don't recommend this to anyone.

    Cheers - Bob

    How does a bricked RED50 look like?

    Like this?

    Hi All,

    I've had several messages back and forth with Sophos folks.  As Jan Weber says in a post, 9.605 fixes the problem with REDs and the only danger is updating the RED firmware when the RED is under a heavy load.  I have suggested that the following instructions be added to the information about the Up2Date (I in blue dot) and the blog post about the 9.605 Up2Date:

    In order to ensure that there's no problem with the update of firmware in RED devices, do the following with two planned outages:

     1. Outage 1 - Up2Date to 9.604:
         A. In WebAdmin, disable all RED Servers for RED appliances.
         B. Apply Up2Dates through 9.604.
         C. At the command line: cc set red use_unified_firmware 0
         D. In WebAdmin, enable all RED Servers for RED appliances.
     2. Outage 2 -     Disconnect all LAN connections from all REDs, leaving the RED online but with no connection to local clients.
     3. Apply the 9.605 Up2Date.
     4. After the Up2Date is complete, reconnect disconnected LAN cables to the REDs.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hello Bob,

    I still have my UTM's on 9.602-3. Do you recommend upgrading at all and if so to 9.605? I don't have any RED appliances so that's not really an issue over here.

    I would go to 9.605, Arno, because of the TCP SACK vulnerability.

    Cheers - Bob
